Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
Executrix needs information about legal procedure for disposing of real estate i
I am the executrix of a relative's will. First,I need to dispose of two properties -both willed to the same person and, then second, to end my executorship. What steps should i take to accomplish both? Can I transfer the properties with a quick claim deed? This is a clear will with no disagreements or problems.

Re: Executrix needs information about legal procedure for disposing of real esta
Generally speaking, you will need to: probate the will; obtain letters testamentary; publish a statutory notice to creditors; pay any debts and expenses of the estate; and then, execute Executor's Deeds transferring the property to the appropriate beneficiaries. Thereafter, you may file a petition for discharge.
Depending on the particular circumstances, it is possible you may be able to use the "no administration necessary" or "years' support" process to accomplish your goal.
